Personal efficiency and organisation 

Personal efficiency and organisation are indeed indispensable qualities for an artist. In the art world, where projects can be uncertain and deadlines can be tight, the ability to plan your time becomes critical. An artist who allocates their working hours effectively and is able to manage multiple projects not only achieves better results, but is also able to maintain a work-life balance.

Adhering to deadlines is another key aspect that separates the professional from the amateur. In the art world, where your work may be part of large exhibitions or projects, being reliable in meeting deadlines builds a reputation for reliability. This is important not only for maintaining the trust of clients and colleagues, but also for securing new commissions and invitations to participate in significant projects.

Staying productive with non-standard work schedules is a particular challenge for artists, often working unusual hours or under the pressure of inspiration. Developing a personal time management system, which may include time management techniques such as the Pomodoro method or the 80/20 rule, helps to maintain focus and use each hour effectively.

Also, in creative professions, it's easy to get distracted or lose motivation due to the lack of a clear work structure. This is where establishing routines that help organise the workday and keep the creative energy flowing comes to the rescue. For example, the beginning of the day can be devoted to creating new ideas and sketches, while the second half of the day can be devoted to administrative tasks or interacting with clients.

Effective management of one's own resources and time not only increases productivity, but also contributes significantly to an artist's satisfaction with their work and life in general.
